Ageusia Loss or absence of the sense of taste
Allogenic marrow transplantation Transfer of marrow from donor to another person
who is not genetically identical
Antineoplastic agents Chemical agents (cytotoxics, biotherapies,
hormones) or other agents used to prevent the
development, maturation or spread of neoplastic
cells
antioxidants molecules (ie. vitamins) that block action of
activated oxygen molecules (free radicals) that
can demage cells
autologous marrow transplantation transfer of marrow from the pt's OWN tissue
(from hematopietic stem cells)
,cancer cachexia per sample test question:temporal wasting,
depleted fat stores, profound anorexia
Multifactorial syndrome characterized by
ongoing loss of skeletal muscle mass, anorexia,
early satiety, wt loss, anemia, edema, fatigue,
possible metabolic alterations, increased
inflammatory markers and progressive functional
impairment.
Pathophysiology characterized by negative
protein energy balance driven by variable
combination of reduced food intake and
abnormal metabolism
carcinogen an agent (physical, chemical, or viral) that
induces CA
carcinogenesis the origin or development of CA, a multistage,
biological process that proceeds on a continuum
but is often described in stages of initiation,
promotion and progression
cytokines protein mediators produced by inflammatory
cells in response to exogenous stimuli, produce
metabolic changes & wasting
dysgeusia altered taste
, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) a disease caused by the immune response of
histoincompatible, immunocompetent donor
cells against the tissues of an
immunoincompetent host; an immuniologic
reaction of allogeneic donor cells (graft) reacting
against the pt (host) tissues
evidenced by icterus & abnormal liver functions,
severe /secretory diarrhea - may need total
bowel rest --> isomotic, low residue, lactose-free
diet --> solids with low lactose, fiber, fat &
acideity, gastric irritants --> regular diet
- usually 3 onths after transplant (but may be 7-10
days post)
hypogeusia decreased taste acuity
initiation the initial stage of tumorigenesis, involving
transformation of cellular DNA
malignant neoplasm mass of cancer cells that invades surrounding
tissues or spreads to distant areas of body
metastasis growth of malignant tissue THAT SPREADS to
surrounding tissue or organs
myelosuppression suppression of bone marrow cell production
neutropenia a reduction of WBC (neutrophils) that can be
caused by chemo or XRT, results in increased
susceptibility to life-threatening infections
pancytopenia a reduction in all cellular elements of the blood
(WBC, RBC, platlets)
